For best results, schedule professional carpet cleaning every 6–12 months. Rug Dubai offers expert installation and can recommend trusted cleaning partners in Dubai.
High-traffic areas: every 1–2 days. Entire carpet: at least twice a week. Dubai's dust and sand make frequent vacuuming essential.
Nylon and olefin (polypropylene) are ideal — they resist UV fading, humidity, and high traffic. For natural fibers, jute and sisal work well with proper care.
No. Bleach damages fibers and causes discoloration. Use carpet-safe stain removers or professional cleaning.
Measure length × width in meters. For wall-to-wall, add 5–10 cm for trimming. Rug Dubai offers free home measurement — we'll do it for you.
